Go Sober for October

[Raven]

​

Anyone else going Sober for October? Some people here will know (from my miserable posts) that I tend to drink a fair amount (Friends and family have laughed when I say I am doing this, but I am determined.) So this will be a REAL challenge for me.
My mum is a cancer survivor. People in my family have died of cancer, and a couple are currently going through it.

The link above goes to my profile where you can donate if you want.

I don't drink a drop anyway, so I think this will be fairly easy for me. Good luck to you, Stormrider. I know it can be tough if it's such a common thing in one's life.

Good for you Storm! Hope you can make it!

 

[Bluezone777]

Good for you trying to stay sober. Don't let the people in your life discourage you from making it through the month sober. I don't drink myself so it won't mean much for me to be sober through this month as I don't care much for alcohol in the first place.

 

[Icetex]

I already won
I don't drink alcohol

 

[Jazzy]

Wishing you much success with this Storm!

 

[DrLeftover]

Good Luck.

I've found that the key is Moderation.

But if this works for you, best of luck.

I don't plan on stopping in general, I want to do this for the cancer charity. The no booze is the challenge.

 

[Evil Eye]

Best of luck with this.

5 days in. Going well.

I'm abit annoyed how little of my family have actually donated. My 2 best friends already told me they are not going to donate to this. I mean what is a couple od quid! I'm not asking for everyone to donate £5 - £10 + just £1 or £2, it is all worth the money.

Paypal will convert US$ to UK£.


And I am going to do something here.

I challenge all other Elites and Staff to pony up Something toward her goal.

Mine's already in.

 

[Raven]

Oh wow! Thank you so much Dr!

 

[Icetex]

Too bad i don't have the money

 

[~KAGE-008]

Good luck then.

Annoyed they wont hand over their money?

Are they there for moral support instead?

If it's a charity they don't support, you shouldn't try to force them to donate to it. That would just make them less likely to do it.

It's still October.

And I'm still waiting to see some other Off Topixines to kick in.

If Five Off Topix donations get to her before Halloween, I'll put in five dollars more.

Anybody in?

 

[Raven]

It's not about the charity, they just aren't going to donate. Nor have they been around to support me. Nice ey?

I did charity work for more years than I want to think about.

Some people give, some don't, and sometimes you're surprised by which is which.
